Tbilisi may introduce restrictions on the movement of cars with even and odd license plates and paid entry to certain areas.
Tbilisi authorities are looking at different options to reduce car traffic. Possible measures include restricting the movement of cars according to the equivalence of license plates on certain days, as well as paid entry to certain areas of the city.
According to Mayor Rek Kaldza, during peak hours the number of cars in the capital can reach 900,000. The existing road infrastructure cannot handle such a load.
The mayor believes that building new overpasses by itself will not solve the problem: unloading one area could lead to traffic jams in another area. As an example, he brought the overpass in Heroes' Square, whose capacity today is no longer sufficient.
Kaldze also noted that due to the difficult terrain of Tbilisi, building squares is impossible. At the same time, the possibility of creating bypass roads at the western and eastern entrance to the capital is now being examined.
The final decision will depend on the results of the study. According to the mayor, in order to implement possible restrictions, the residents themselves also need to be ready for change.
